Gene Ontology Enrichment Analysis for Podocyte-Specific Genes

600 genes were analyzed for over-represented Gene Ontology terms in a subset expressed only in human podocytes. The supplementary table lists significantly enriched GO terms, particularly those related to neuronal biological processes. The dataset was authored by Wasco Wruck and published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify biological processes enriched in podocyte-specific genes based on GO term analysis.
• Investigate potential molecular parallels between kidney and brain cell types based on neuronal-related GO terms.
• Validate or compare gene expression signatures using the provided list of 600 subset genes.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific subset of 600 genes for targeted analysis.
• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Includes a specific analysis filter for neuronal-related Gene Ontology terms.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is very small at 51.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
